Hello everyone. To bring you into the discussion, we're considering renumbering 1.6.2 to 1.7 before release, as kind of a "surprise" to end users, and a reflection of reality that this version is really much improved over 1.6.x.
I understand that the marketing department has been using 1.6.2 all this time, but I don't think anyone will have trouble putting together that 1.7 is "better" than 1.6.2. (Especially given the time between public mention of 1.6.2 and release.) Just so long as we make a clean break at release time, refusing to use the numbers interchangeably. (Which means renaming the bzr branch after the coding sprint.) To clarify, I'm also proposing to call the beta "Mixxx 1.7.0-beta1" to avoid any user confusion (since they will have seen 1.6.0, 1.6.1, 1.6.1+Herc, 1.7.0-beta1, 1.7.0. No problem.) Another argument for this is that some MIDI controllers supported in 1.6.1 & below are no longer, which would be unexpected in a point release. So essentially, "1.6.2" is the development codename for 1.7. :) Adam said: > I'm not against this.

Let us know what _you_ think. Sincerely, Sean M. Pappalardo "D.J.
